Training to become an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC) and/or a lector has two components. The first is a theological session which lasts about one hour. Persons interested in either or both liturgical ministries only need to come to one theological session.

The other component is a practical session. This takes place on a separate day and is also abut an hour in length.

Those who are interested in taking communion to the sick or in becoming a Mass coordinator are required to take the training for an EMHC.
